Credibility zero after: "Techies is a balanced and very beatable hero".
Credibility negative after: "doesn't offer much in pushes".
He is balanced and beatable, he's just annoying as fuck to play against.
And he really doesn't offer much in pushes if you just jump him. What does he do? Basically just suicides or forcestaffs at most. If the teamfight drags out, yeah he can do alot, but most teamfights are decided insanely fast in competitive games, typically within seconds, so his cast times don't help him here.
If he was that broken, he'd be like Cancer Pony and literally banned every fucking match. That's not the case, because it's clearly easy to beat him if you know how to play against him, it's just a 70+ minute marathon most of the time.

Sumail was actually really losing the QoP vs Storm match-up, and CTY would have came out ahead if he just didn't get ultra cocky. The fact that he was only like 3-4 cs behind really shows how bad Sumail was getting outclassed. The 2nd game was all Sumail's teammates getting him the advantage.
Cty makes a mistake that gives Sumail a large advantage but he still > Sumail this is the best case of why Azarkon is necessary.
What service do you provide that makes you "necessary"?
he sees himself as a hardhitting truthteller or something

except he does offer a lot in pushes
other than that, agreed with everything else
He sorta does in that he has good AoE and can clear mines if he is allowed to set things up, but he's almost useless in most fast paced fights.
Why would he be in a face paced fight? He just claims a lane. Are you going to go there and waste time?
agha techies is highly battle-able in fast paced fight is insane lol

He will be banned every game after some teams get over the instinctive aversion and start picking him a lot.

he's here to attract fights and get traffic. Making TI LR threads entertaining
Think this has turned out okay for Ehome even with the techies ban. Not sure why EG firstbanned Gyro instead of Lesh, they could've made Ehome choose between giving away WW+1 or Gyro+1. If you're going to ban Lesh no matter what, why not do it first.

Techies is a very good pusher. Mine damage allows him to compete with Clinkz while Strafe is active.
